Siwa Ratri........................
Siwaratri is always celebrated on the day before Tilem Sasih Kepitu, the new moon of the 7 month of the Saka Moon calendar of Bali, a day which usually falls in the month of January.
Siwaratri, often referred to as the " Night of Siwa " is an auspicious time for introspection and meditation during which the Hindus of Bali pray for forgiveness of their earthly sins and for support and strength from Siwa in order to reach their higher selves.
It strat with an opening ceremony of prayers and offerring which is performed at the kawitan, the family's home temple. The preliminary ceremony should be finished before daybreak and is followed at 6 am by, Monabrata or silence - not speaking for a period of 12 hours. Upawasa or fasting - not eating or drinking during 24 hours. Mejagra or meditation , not sleeping during 36 hours. Each of these ( non ) activities are methods that help one to learn how to be selft-aware at all times, to have self-control in all circumtance. When finished, each of them is closed with prayers and offering in home temple.
The ceremonies and activities of Siwaratri day should remind people to always be spiritually concious while facing the ups and downs of physical life, to always be ware of the fact that one is an incarnated soul. More often than not one tends to forget the true essence of one's being in the dramatic turmoil of physical life with its emotional inclinations of urges, temptation and desires.
The Balinese & Javanese Wayang Figure of Ramayana
Kala Marica ........
Kala Marica was one of the Rahwana's nursemaid who had magic power. When Rama was adolescent ,Kala Marica was engaged in combat with Rama in the residence of Begawan Wismamitra. At that time, Kala Marica led the troops to destroy the meditating place of Brahmana.
All the troops of Kala Marica were killed from arrow of Rama and Laksamana, but Kala Marica was safe and flug to his country, Alengka because he was shot by Rama with " Bajra " arrow - hurricane .
The magic power of rama made Kala Marica affraid. When he was invited by Rahwana to look for Rama, he rejected,even he gave Rahwana advice to cancell his cruel intention.
Rahwana become angry and then drew his sword to cut off Kala Marica's head. Because he would be killed, lastly Kala Marica was willing to join Rahwana to find Rama but his duty only separated in far distance among the presence of Rama, Sita and Laksamana in forest Dandaka.
Kala Marica who had magic power changed himselft to be a golden deer ( Kijang emas ) that was absolutely beautiful. That deer tempted site. Sometime he drew closer, sometimes he drew further, If he would be held by Sita, he jumped and ran, and then he drew closer again.
Sita who was eager to have that deer , then got Rama to cath him. Because Rama failed catching him, he lost his patience. Then that deer was form to be Kala Marica. The Kala Marica's scream made Sita think that the scream was Rama's voice, his husband who was in dangerous condition.

...............His shadow lost in the turning streets. The youth shake their heads. " Those two old men!" They mutter, makinga clicking sound.
Back from ubud, Pan Dabgre throws his shirt on the bed. And then he goes to the cock's cage. opens it and didn't sell it, he never wants to sell his cock.
His cock is powerfull. The legs are strong with yellow skin. The feathers are red, little bit green and black on the wings. His tail dangles, almost touching the ground .
His crowing? Don't ask that !
In the morning, before people ready to wake up, his cock has already woken them. Flapping his wings and then crowing very loudly ; " Kuk-ku-ru-yuuuuuk!" Perhap the cock is yelling to the world; " Kuk-ku-ru-yuuuuk!"......" This Pan Dabreg's cock "......." Enormous "...." Like his owner " ......" Will never lose "......." To an enemy ". Actually Pan Dabreg's cock has never lost when cock-fighting.
After back home from the rice-fields, he would hold that cock.
Men Dabreg has finished her housework. She looks at her husband still stroking the cock. " I feel this life better not changing Just always like this, " thinks Men Dabreg.
She parts her hair which falls to her forehaed. The hair which in same part is already white. This is the hair which befoere was always touched by Pan Dabreg. The smile comes out from her lips.
"Oh, come on," Men dabreg says suddenly. " The day already afternoon, we must eat together.That night when Men Dabreg sleeps, she suddently wake-up. She hears Pan abreg talking in his sleep again. Ha always says : " Ubud market, asbestos, carefull of your eggs!" And then sleeps again.
" Ah maybe he's tired," whispers Men Dabreg . She puts the thick blanket ever him. The blanket given by her daughter in Denpasar. There are two lizard in the bamboo wall chasing each other, two old bodies twisted in the wooden bed sleeping deligfully.

The situation becomes quiet, some people drink their coffee. The flowered shirt order arak - berem.
Without realizing the sun .....................
had already sloped a little to the west. Many bemos are busy bringing up to the sellers and their
stuff. Their horns call each other noisily. Some of them play Indonesian rock on
their tape recorders.
Actually, bemos are not only for carrying stuff and people,
but also the place for listening to music. The music is for the bemo driver's
taste.
Suddenly motorbike at high speed turns, in the corner of Ubud. An old woman crosses
the street. That old woman surprised and scream. Pan Dabreg and the people yell.
The driver is capable. He breakes his motorbike. The sound of the wheels
screech and eat the asphalt. The motorbike stops, exactly in front of that
old woman.
The old woman is pale. The driver who is actually tourist is
also worried and quickly apologizes to that old woman. When a lot of people come
in mass that tourist flies away on his motorbike roaring. " Crazy tourist!" a
lot of people reproach. Soon the meeting in the warung is finished. Wayan must go back to Penestanan Village, have
ceremony in his house.
Pan Dabreg , after paying for his drink, goes back
home.
